Rockford MMA jiu-jitsu kids take down tournament

It was another great apprentice class at Core Combat Sports. We started the day as any other with the warm ups and line drills. When then did a little instructional on airplane base and spider kid. Basically what that means is that we taught the children how to stay on mount while their partners attempted to get them off. At the end of each month we do a take-down tournament. The kids get really fired up for this because they get to put their skills to use in a simulated real time situation. For the older kids it came down to Randy and Jake. Both worked extremely hard and did their best. It seemed to go on and on and Coach Todd finally had to call it a draw. Yes, It was that close. For the third month in a row Little Cecelia won her bracket. Coach Todd (her father) was extremely proud of her.
